PAGO PAGO AMERICAN SAMOA


MONDAY 20th AUGUST 2012.

Following two days of calm sailing across the  South Pacific we reached  American Samoa and it’s capital of Pago Pago. It was a partly cloudy and sunny day of about 30 degrees.

American Samoa is a beautiful tropical jungle clad mountainous island and we berthed at its main port of Pago Pago and downtown Fagotogo which is situated in a fiord like bay and harbour.

Pago Pago, which is pronounced Pango Pango is pretty lay back and easy to get around and we spent the morning wandering around the town and the waterfront areas. The town and surrounding areas are pretty run down with the newest building in town being Maca’s. However it was an enjoyable day, but a place I wouldn’t return for an individual holiday.

Again we had a beautiful sunset sailaway on our way to our next port of call Auckland in three days time.
